Loved it! I've seen similar starling activity on that scale at my house, but there's something about being over water that makes it even more dramatic. Being in that canoe must have been a buzz. So exposed & involved, wow.

That was pretty cool! We had a load of those Starlings where I live but people moaned and groaned so someone shot something to scare them away :-( They weren't hurting anybody...just deposited a bit of poo on cars...*sigh*
